Disclaimer: I do not contribute anymore to WYMeditor. The project is now maintained by Wes Winham and other contributors, and I am glad that WYMeditor, which I created in September 2005 with Daniel Reszka, is still improving and being used and integrated in a growing list of high-profile websites, such as Kickstarter and PolicyStat.

I've been very busy these last months, and unfortunately I had no time to blog, nor work on WYMeditor.
Things are finally getting back to normal, though I must admit I currently don't have so much time for the project...
Anyway, we have started to refactor WYMeditor's code, cleaning up the global object, moving classes to the WYMeditor namespace, and so on. No new feature, but I think the code is getting better and easier to maintain.
Next step: use NaturalDocs for the code documentation.

WYMeditor 0.4 stable has been released!
This release includes Bermi Ferrer's powerful XHTML and CSS parsers, and fixes some outstanding bugs.
For your convenience, jQuery 1.1.4 has been included in the package, as well as getting started examples, which should work out of the box.
Thanks to all the contributors who made this release possible.
Enjoy!Download WYMeditor 0.4

The jQuery wordStats plugin tries to determine what a page is about by computing the density of its keywords.
It uses a simple algorithm which adds a variable weight for each keyword occurence, depending on its 'position' in the document.
Although this computation model is quite simple, I get good results with all sorts of documents.
There's of course a system to exclude 'stop words' (frequent pronouns, prepositions, adverbs and so on).
